Serious issues found in security module

Scriptcase 9 Bugs
#1

I created a security module with Group option because I wanted to create a set of users under a group called clients. This group will access to some data entry forms, grids. I limited access to the security applications like groups, group / application etc. But when i sign in as a test user under the client group and try the menus I am able to access all those I had restricted as admin
I think this is a bug

If you are in development mode, set up the security resources in My ScriptCase to work the way you want

I am sorry I think there is a confusion here. I am talking about the Security module Menu Bar Modules / Security. This generates some apps for setting up security for the project. Here we have the option of setting User Wise, Application Wise , Group Wise and LDAP security. My issue is with the Group option. As per the SC help, the Group wise security will enforce access to applications based on user groups.
I have a group of users called client. I want to restrict access to some particular apps (for eg. I do not want a client to delete the user profile of another client).
Despite my setting up the Group / Applications accordingly, the same is not working.

Yes I understand,

If “Enable Use of Security” is not set in My ScriptCase it will not be activated when you test on your development environment, it will only work in production

Also you need to exit the application and login again when you change the setting for a group

Thanks. That worked though not entirely. First as you said, I went to Menubar/Options/MyScriptcase and turned on the security settings as said by you.
This led to a problem where I run the project and the window shows an erorr message as unauthorised user. Then I went to the Menu application and turned of the security for that (This is a logical point I missed).
Now it is working . But I am not sure how it happens but the admin login shows as invalid credentials.
Before making changes as per your suggestion, I tried the same project as admin login and user login. Then I changed as per your instructions . Admin login failed. User login worked. Under user login, the menus were disabled. Anyway, I will check the admin part myself.
Thanks a lot

maybe it is not your case but when i had problems with permissions what i did was using two different browsers to run the tests for instance

  1. run the test with admin permits using chrome
  2. run tests with user: client using firefox

maybe something with cookies or cache i dont know
but this solved the issue. And since you as developer would not use the same pc as your clients you have no problem. Also your clients are nos gonna be developing.

let me know if it works

Thanks for the response. But strangely, it is not repeating anymore.

could be a cache issue. have had it multiple times with a safari browser. then test the same thing with chrome and get it working.
